Spiritual successor to L'Amour for a different era. 2,500-square-foot venue prioritizing atmosphere over capacity—black-on-black aesthetic, cathedral-like lighting, 250 capacity. One of most respected metal bars in the world.
Like L'Amour, hosted massive bands in intimate settings. Surviving members of Nirvana played reunion show here in 2014 with Joan Jett and Kim Gordon. Megadeth, Anthrax, Descendents played "underplays." Abruptly shut down by NYC Dept of Buildings in February 2024 during a hardcore show due to permitting issues. Physical location closed permanently August 2024. Brand "Saint Vitus Presents" continues booking at other venues.
